Breed Chronology

BREED CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER

A special thanks to Kat Brandt for helping me put this together. As noted, the Breeds at one time or another have been separated by three publishers. I never imagined the series would be so popular or that it would go so far. Now that it has, we have a few discrepancies that I hope you’ll overlook.

Thank your Kat. You’re help is deeply appreciated.

The Breeds were originally written out of order chronologically, so that and a change in publishers is why there are chronological discrepancies in Jacob’s Faith and Aiden’s Charity. The Breed character is listed first.

1) Tempting the Beast - Callan and Merinus - Lion Breed - Merinus Tyler discovers a secret in the Kentucky mountains. Men and women who were created in and escaped from the labs of their creators.

And Taber, part man, part animal, now has to face the fact that the woman he couldn’t forget knows exactly what he is.

Information that get them both killed.

So he kidnaps Scheme Tallant-the daughter of a one-time high-ranking member of the Genetics Council.

Lawe isn't thrilled with her either. A lion at heart, he prefers a lair of solitude. When it comes to females, he'd rather snarl than purr. And while fate may have paired them to fight on the same team, neither is willing to admit to the obvious: the mating heat between them is positively incinerating.

27) Stygian's Honor - Window Rock, Arizona, is the last known location of Honor Roberts, who vanished when she was just thirteen.
